Chiral Liquid Crystals

Theoretical and experimental optical activity and light scattering work in highly chiral liquid crystals is reviewed, starting from the early studies twenty years ago and ending with the most current investigations. Pretransitional effects in the isotropic and smectic A phases of highly chiral liquid crystals are discussed, as well as optical activity and light scattering effects in both the blue phases and smectic A * phase.

Smectic A Liquid Crystals

Edge dislocations are linear defects that locally break the positional order of the layers in smectic A liquid crystals. As in usual solids, these defects play a central role for explaining the plastic properties of the smectic A phase. This work focuses on the dynamical properties of dislocations in bulk samples prepared between two glass plates and in free-standing films. The emphasis will be put on the measurement of the mobility of edge dislocations in liquid crystals either pure or doped with nanoparticles. The experimental results will be compared to the existing models.
